Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Can long-eared owls turn their heads all the way around?
Owls can rotate their necks up to 270 degrees because they have 14 neck vertebrae, which is double the number humans have.
What were traditional metal milk churns used for on historic farms?
Dairy farmers used heavy metal churns to collect fresh milk and transport it safely to local markets before modern refrigeration existed.
Are the ear tufts on a long-eared owl real ears?
No, the tufts are merely decorative feathers used for communication and camouflage, while the actual ears are hidden on the sides of the head.
